Penny p.s. your appiluqe comes out soft, not stiff.
One question about how you did yours, once you turned the piece right side out, did you cut out most the back of the fusible interfacing, or leave it all intact? I've seen one tutorial online where the lady cut out all but a little frame of the interfacing. She said it got rid of a lot of the rigid feeling from the interfacing.
